i-MiEV is a pure electric vehicle. Some of the vehicle systems operate differently from and have different characteristics than ordinaryvehicles equipped with an internal combus- tion engine. For this reas
on, it is very impor-
tant to read carefull
y this entire owner’s
manual.
N01200200027
 i-MiEV is powered only by electricity. This vehicle does not
emit exhaust gases,
such as carbon dioxide and nitrogenoxide.  The i-MiEV uses electricity stored in the lithium ion battery. The lithium-ion bat-tery is called the main drive lithium-ion battery. This vehicl
e does not have an
internal combustion engine and does notrequire gasoline
or diesel fuel.
 The main drive lithium-ion battery must be charged with electricity to drive thevehicle. As the vehi
cle operates, the main
drive lithium-ion battery gradually dis- charges. If the main drive lithium-ion bat-tery becomes completely discharged, the vehicle will not
operate until it is re-
charged. The charging process can take upto 23 hours as descri
bed more precisely in
this manual.  This vehicle uses two types of batteries. One is 12V starter battery that is the same type of the battery used in ordinary vehi-cles. It is called the 12V starter battery. The other battery which propels the vehi- cle is called the main drive lithium-ionbattery.  The 12V starter battery provides power to the vehicle systems and features such asthe audio system, supplemental restraint systems, headlights a
nd windshield wiper.
 The main drive lithium-ion battery pro- vides power to the electric motor that pro- pels the vehicle and charges the 12V starter battery. Through a process called regenerative braking, the main drive lithium-ion bat- tery is automatically charged, while thevehicle is decelera
ting or being driven
downhill.
Familiarizing yourself with i-MiEV Main features
NOTE
 If the 12V starter batter
y is discharge, the
electric motor unit ca
nnot be started. And
also the main drive lithium-ion battery can-not be charged.WA R N I N G Pay special attention to pedestrians. Because there is no engine noise, pedestri- ans may not know the vehicle is approach-ing and may step into
the path of vehicle
travel. Refer to “Aco
ustic vehicle alerting
system (AVAS)

Motion energy is converted into electric energy using the motor as a power generator. While decelerating, electric energy will becreated and used to charge to the main drive lithium-ion battery.  If you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal while driving, a braking force thatequivalent to the engine braking of a gas- oline or diesel powered vehicle engine vehicle will
be generate.
For increased regenerative braking, set the selector lever to “B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE MODE) or “ECO” (ECOMODE) as follows: • “B”: Strong regenerative braking (For downhill driving)• “ECO”: Moderate regenerative braking (For economical driving or gentle down- hill driving)
 As greater brake fo
rce is applied by
depressing the brak
e pedal, increased
regenerative braking occurs.  When regenerative braking produces strong brake force, the stop lights willilluminate, even if the brake pedal is not depressed.
N01200300015
 Keep the brake pedal depressed until you are ready to drive. When the vehicle is inthe “D” (DRIVE), “ECO” (ECO MODE),“B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE MODE) or

Regular charge port light (A) comes on when the UNLOCK button on the remote control transmitter is pressed, or when any door orthe liftgate is opened.
The regular charge port
light and the dome light
s (with the dome light
switch in the “DOOR” position) will come onsimultaneously. However, the regular charge port light will not
come on when you press
the dome light (front) lens or slide the dome light (rear) switch to the “ON” position. For details, refer to
“Keyless entry system”
on page 5-5, “Dome
light (Front)/Reading
lights” on page 5-77 a
nd “Dome light (Rear)”
To turn on the charge port light again, press the UNLOCK button on the remote control transmitter, or open any
door or the liftgate.
Individuals using an
electro-medical
apparatus such as implantable pacemak-ers and implantable
cardiovascular-defi-
brillators should
check with the
manufacturer of the apparatus to confirm the effect of the el
ectromagnetic waves
from charging. The el
ectromagnetic waves
may affect the operations of the electro- medical apparatus. If you use an electro-medical apparatus, such as an implanta
ble cardiac pacemaker
or an implantable ca
rdiovascular
defibril-
lator, observe the following precautions before charging;• Keep your electro-medical apparatusaway from the charge connector, EVcharging cable, control box and regular charging station.• While regular charging;· Do not stay inside the vehicle. · Do not go inside the vehicle, for exam- ple to remove or place an item in the passenger compartment.· Do not open the liftgate, for example to remove or place an item in the cargo area.
 To reduce the risk of electric shock, con- nect only to a prop
erly grounded and
waterproofed outlet. Never use an extension cable, multi-plug adapter or conversion adapter. Using them may cause overheating result- ing in fire.WA R N I N G
 Never force the connection if the charging cable or plug shows damage or is not eas-ily connected due to foreign materialentering the plug or the outlet. Never use an outlet that is worn, damaged, or will not hold the plug firmly. Make sure that the plug is inserted all the way into the outlet before use. While it is normal fo
r the plug and charg-
ing cable to become warm during charg- ing, discontinue use immediately if the plug or charging cable becomes too hot totouch. Never pull the cable to remove the plug.Never connect or disconnect the plug with a wet hand.NOTE
 Your vehicle is equipped with an EV charg- ing cable for regular charging. Refer to “EVcharging cable” on page 3-23.  When connecting or
disconnecting the regu-
lar charge connector, in
sert/pull out the con-
nector straight. Also, do not incline or twist the connector.Doing so could cause a bad connection ormalfunction.  Make sure to lock the doors to prevent theft, etc. during charging.WA R N I N G

Charging troubleshooting guide
Symptom
Possible cause
Possible solution
Charging cannot be started. The elec
tric motor switch is in the
ON position.
Before charging, place the electric motor switch in the “LOCK” position.
The main drive lithium-ion battery is already fully charged.
Charging cannot be performed if the
main drive lithium-ion battery is
already fully charged. Charging automa
tically turns off if the main drive
lithium-ion battery is fully charged.
The temperature of the main drive lithium-ion battery is too high or too low to charge.
Confirm the main drive lithium-ion battery temperature. Refer to “Cautions and actions to deal
with intense heat” on page 3-8 and
“Cautions and actions to deal with intense cold” on page 3-10.
The 12V starter battery is discharged. The main drive lith
ium-ion battery can be charge
d if the vehicle electrical
systems cannot be turned on. If the batte
ry is discharged, charge or jump
start the 12V starter battery. Refer
to “Jump-starting” on page 8-2.
The vehicle or the charging cable has a malfunction.
The vehicle or the charging cable ma
y have a malfunction. Confirm if the
warning light on the meter is illuminated. Confirm if the indicator on the charger is indicating a malfunction. If
a warning is displayed, stop charg-
ing and contact a cer
tified i-MiEV dealer.
The fuse has blown. Confirm if the fuse of the in
terior lights (dome lights) in the fuse block in
the passenger compartment located in front of the driver’s seat has blown. Refer to “Fuses” on page 9-18.
